BRS leader KTR says Congress MLA exposes Telangana corruption
In the Indian state of Telangana, different political groups compete to run the government.
Right now, a group called Congress is in charge of the state government.
A leader from another group, BRS, named KT Rama Rao (people call him KTR), gave a speech about the government.
He said that even some members of the ruling Congress party are saying the government is doing wrong things.
One of those members is an MLA, an elected leader, named Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy.
KTR said it is very unusual for people from the government's own party to complain about it.
He also said the Telangana Congress has been turned into an ATM for Rahul Gandhi and his party's top committee.
KTR asked the national government to check the complaints carefully and honestly.
He said the people should be told the truth.
KTR said corruption in Telangana is now being exposed openly by legislators of the ruling Congress party itself.
KTR agreed with Congress MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy's corruption allegations against the government and its senior leadership.
KTR said it is not an ordinary development for a ruling party MLA to publicly raise corruption allegations against the government's top leadership.
KTR alleged that Telangana Congress has been turned into an ATM for Rahul Gandhi and the AICC.
KTR demanded that central investigating agencies conduct an impartial investigation and bring the facts before the people.
